Fox News in its report remind us that Biden's 'Russian experts are the same people as the Obama Russian experts,' expert says
President Biden’s bluster on Russia in the lead-up to the country’s invasion of Ukraine gave way to policies that appeased Russian President Vladimir Putin and largely follow that of Obama administration policies, experts say.
"[Biden’s] Russian experts are the same people as the Obama Russian experts. They were the people that said the Russian reset is going to be great," James Carafano, vice president of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital.
The Obama administration heralded a "reset" with Russia at the start of his first term, when then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with a red button reading, "reset," and Obama announced the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with Russia in 2010 – intended to cut the number of nuclear weapons held by the U.S. and Russia.
Then-Vice President Biden said Russia joining the World Trade Organization was "the most important item on our agenda."
